That's Looney, not you Irving
I don't believe it.Franks Wild Years said:He's just been given 3 years.
HampshireSeagulls said:Sorry Looney - don't you think it relatively important that someone that the far right can hold up as an educated man has publicly renounced his views? It is important, because much of the far right literature is based around his books, and his literature is taken as "fact" by those groups. He is/was a respected man in those circles, and he has performed a complete volte-face.
When I was a member of the far right in my dim (very) and distant youth, he was almost heralded as the Messiah because of his views, and the simple fact that he was educated and published.

coventrygull said:Yes Tyndall and Griffin are ranked as holocaust deniers but as stated not all nationalist are holocaust deniers or anti - semetic. The nationalist movement is a very broad church. It may surprise you that not all nationalist worship at the altar of st nick.
London Irish said:This is not a dig, but how do you know so much about the far right? Forgive me, but you don't come across as an avid Searchlight reader Am I guessing right that (a bit like Hampshire Seagulls) you have been in the past through these organisations, have come out the other side and are now more into this New Age/Buddhist stuff that you have sometimes posted links too?
